Use UpdateJobQueue with an AWS SDK or CLI

To update a job queue

The following update-job-queue example disables a job queue so that it can be deleted.

aws batch update-job-queue \
    --job-queue GPGPU \
    --state DISABLED

Output:

{
    "jobQueueArn": "arn:aws:batch:us-west-2:123456789012:job-queue/GPGPU",
    "jobQueueName": "GPGPU"
}

For more information, see Delete a job queue in AWS Batch in the AWS Batch User Guide.
